It’s even more exciting that so many companies still come up with new and innovative products that tip their cowboy hat at history while still appealing to a modern audience. Here are some of the best cowboy guns that have hit the marketplace over the past year.

Pietta 1851 Captain Schaeffer
One look at the 1851 Captain Shaeffer should tell you that this revolver was quite the showstopper for its era – its appeal led to its use by both the U.S. and British military. Available in a steel frame, this revolver received its moniker from the depiction on the cylinder of the Texas Navy’s victory over the Mexican fleet in 1843. Pietta’s reproduction is available in .36 caliber and 4″ barrel length.
